I get to share my natal day with two people I actually know this year, more than I've ever had (I've never had a friend with the same birthday before):
heidi8 and
verdenia. I'm also 2 days late in wishing very festive and joyous birthdays to
altariel1 and
snottygrrl, who share a birthday on the 13th. I'm going to do a wrap-up tonight of thank yous, mostly that you all are in my life. (((grateful hugs)))
In hobbitish fashion, I'm giving out gifts on my birthday, in this case, the gift of fic. I have two offerings, one here and one over at
ginger_lust. The link to the one at
ginger_lust is here:
'Cloudscape of Ravens'. (I'm linking directly to my website as the link on the comm is locked; the fic is adult and we have some under-18 watchers at the comm) It's the fic I'd had simmering in my head last fall when I first came up with the idea of a Ron-centric, prompt-driven fic community to post after the Christmas/holiday large fests and exchanges. Go there for details but it's adult and as I see it, DH-compliant, EWE. Ron/OMC, Ron/Severus and Ron/OMC/Harry.
The other fic is my first foray into Wraeththu fanfiction, so for any folks who come here from
raythoo, welcome, and I'd love your thoughts! Especially since only two people on my flist have read the series. ;) I'm still new enough to the fandom that I'm not sure of any particular canon-compliant notices, but this is the beginning of what I can tell will be a long gap filler, and is based on the first three
Wraeththu novels and being more fleshed out as I now read the second trilogy. Also to be cross-posted over in the WIP Pinkboard at
Forever, a Wraeththu fanfic archive. Also, Wraeththu fanfiction authors tend to have lots of original characters, so I'm not sure whether or not to warn for that, or how to announce such things. Ah, being a newbie again. Hopefully somebody will show me the ropes. For anyone else on my flist, feel free to read, though it'll probably seem like original fic. There are some pictures
here to give you some idea of what hara may look like, though it's sadly lacking on this webpage in any pictures of Vaysh. This photo book would also make a great gift. ;) Sadly not available through Amazon or B&N or I'd get it myself.
Title: Maelstrom and Mage, Desire Thine Darkling
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: slash, WIP
Word Count: 6,000
Disclaimer: Ashmael, Vaysh, and the harish world all belong to Storm Constantine; I'm merely playing with great abandon in her sandbox.
Pairings: Vaysh/Ashmael, Ashmael/OHC (original har character)
Summary: Before they knew of Immanion, or Thiede, before death and despair, Ashmael and Vaysh knew and loved each other. This is one way their story may have been told.
